Edmund's review really hit the "nail on the head" concerning the FJ's brakes. Two (2) of the long term road test reports mentioned that the brakes are "overly sensitive when modulating the pedal at a crawl". I experience the same problem when trying to graduate the brake pressure for a smooth stop. Instead, I usually end up with a lurching halt. Anybody else notice this behavior with the brakes?

The braking system is a pressurized system similar to the 1990-1995 Range Rover system. It works a lot like air brakes on a Semi and requires a very careful touch to modulate the braking. You can hear the servo "pumping up" soon after startup (if parked for a good while) if you listen for a little mechanical hum and sometimes you can feel the "kickback" through the pedal if your foot is resting on it when it pressurizes.
